BTW 195.6 this morning

:174:

Booked an appt with a physiotherapist. Have a bad case of frozen shoulder/capsulitis. Thought it might be related to keto but Joe Rain says he got the same thing in both shoulders a few years ago. Certain movements, like reaching up to the chin up bar, cause searing pain (yet I can do the actual chin-ups no problem.) I also have to sleep in very specific positions to avoid the pain. Very annoying.

I’m dealing with this type of old guy nonsense, too

My bicipital tendon that runs up to my left shoulder occasionally pops out of the groove.

Orthopedic doc said the only way to repair it is pin it down via surgery

Ooof
 
Exercise is a chore for me. I want to get from point A to point B as quickly and efficiently as possible and I'm willing to sacrifice the pleasantries. No one can deny that calorie for calorie it's more efficient to just ride a flywheel at home. But I get it, some peeps like a little cream with their coffee. More power to ya.

And Blitty - scoping dogs (and being scoped) is a plus, not a negative.
 
I just tackled at 15% grade hill. It was just over 150 yards long but holy fuck. Had to use the granny ring.

Looks like the same kind of deal as mine, just newer. Big box store bike with reliable entry-level components and an aluminum frame. I'm sure it's a fine bike. Doesn't matter for what we use them for.

Edit - I was looking at someone's modified bike. You actually have a granny ring/3rd chainring.

Doesn’t a carbon fiber fork cost more than that bike does brand new :dunno:

You can get a carbon fork on Amazon for less than $100.

I got a carbon seatpost and seat for peanuts (CA$50 total), they shaved almost a pound off the bike.

I'm sure it's not the same grade as what you get from top brands, but it's light and seems super strong. 🤷‍♂️
